Friday Reads | Resurrection Man

I’ll be super quick today because I’ve been working, and my kids are jumping up and down waiting for us to go to my mother. But I have read, I have read Resurrection Man by Laylah Hunter.

It’s short, it free, and it’s a little gruesome. A nice bring-your-partner-back-from-the-dead-and-suffer-the-consequences story.

The copy I downloaded was, sadly, mostly filled with excerpts from other stories and I don’t think I’ve ever read something where 60% of the book is other stories. So that pissed me off, which is unfortunate because I enjoyed the story, a little Frankenstein with your coffee is never wrong!

Check it out!

Book Cover Resurrection Man by Laylah HunterNecromancy means never having to say good-bye.

Consumption has claimed the life of Adel St. Claire, cutting him down in his prime. But his lover, Josef Leitner, isn’t ready to let him go. To get Adel back, Josef is willing to risk the anger of Adel’s family, make unsavory deals with a corrupt mortician, and challenge the authority of death itself.

Even if he can reanimate Adel’s body, Josef’s next challenge may be more daunting still: when a man returns from the dead, what will it take to satisfy his needs?

Friday Reads | The Name on My Wrist

It’s been a busy week and I’ve hardly had time to read anything at all so I went browsing for a short story simply to have something to write about today. I ended up grabbing The Name on My Wrist by J.M. Snyder. Some of J.M. Snyder’s books are on my list of go-to re-reads, others not.

The Name on My Wrist is a short one, only ten pages, but it’s packed with emotions. It’s no secret I love short fiction, I love when an author can make me feel something in a few short sentences, and Snyder does that here.

James lost his boyfriend in the Vietnam war and he’s never recovered from it – I don’t think I ever could, but his way of coping is keeping him trapped in a life long lost. Little by little information is added and you begin to see James in a new light.

The Name on My Wrist is well worth your time. It’s short and it’s free and it left me with a lump in my throat.

Book Cover The Name on My Wrist by J.M. SnyderJames, middle-aged, is given to one-night flings with younger men in whom he searches for someone he lost long ago. A random comment by his latest catch draws his mind back to the past, to a boy he once loved so fiercely, a boy drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. A boy lost in the war. A boy James has never forgotten.

Warning: This is a very sad little story. It’s also one of my best.

Friday Reads | His Unclaimed Omega

After weeks of having read werewolf stories, I think I’ve reached a point where it’s time to look for something else. I’ve just finished His Unclaimed Omega (The Mountain Shifters #1) by L.C. Davis and it’s totally my own fault for not reading the blurb before starting the book.

It’s a fast-paced story and if you have a thing for sheltered Omegas, true mates, Mpreg, and all of that, then this is a story for you. I steer clear of Mpregs when I can so when I realised where the story was going (in the very first pages) I considered putting it away, but then I thought I could at least give it a chance. I did, I finished it.

I’m absolutely certain many will love this, they’ll love Cameron and Barnabas, and the way they put words on their love for each other – I’m, however, not the right audience for this book. I love werewolves and l love them even more when their emotions are bottled up and never see the light of day.

This story is for you romantics out there!

Book Cover His Unclaimed Omega by L.C. DavisM/M Gay Shifter Alpha Omega Romance

When the idyllic Silver Lake pack is struck by tragedy, young omega Cameron wants nothing more than to use his healing abilities to restore peace to his home — and his alpha. Can he convince Barnabas of what his heart has always known before he’s given to another alpha?

Barnabas is a one-man kind of alpha and when his beloved mate and omega is taken from him, he’s left an empty shell. Cameron’s gentle strength and unfailing devotion might be what it takes to save him, but Barnabas sees claiming another omega as an act of treachery. Despite his best intentions, Barnabas’ instincts as an alpha without an heir are pulling him in the direction of the young unmated omega he’s sworn to protect and find a mate of his own. Giving Cameron to the alpha of a neighboring Council pack is the only way he can do right by the orphaned omega and keep the vow he made to his fallen mate so long ago, but can Barnabas’ heart withstand the pain of losing yet another omega he loves?

When the elder of the Council makes a shocking decision about Cameron’s destiny, the Silver Lake pack is thrown into chaos. Cameron is getting what he’s always wanted, but he soon learns that being claimed by his alpha in name only is a worse fate than being held at arm’s length. Only time will tell if Barnabas can shed the heavy weight of his guilt to claim the omega who belongs to him, or whether his pain will be exploited by the brutal Mountain Ridge pack that has designs on Silver Lake territory — and its unique omega.

Grief, love and passion combine to give Cameron a crash course on what it means to be an omega. Luckily the young wolf understands better than anyone that love heals wounds that even time can’t touch.
